[1] Edited by: gbowman on 21/01/2005 17:17:07 Call me odd if you like, but I think at least one of the skills needed for successful smuggling, (as well as a Smuggling skill, d'oh!) should be Social related...think about it. Smuggling is as much as about social manipulation as anything else: not looking guilty, "oh no, Officer, nothing in MY hold..." or even "These are not the drugs you're looking for..." *wave*  Navigation 5? Why? Yes you want to go fast, fine, but we're talking about a freighter, not a fighter. More practically, Mechanic 5, for maintaining a shoddy exterior, but a smooth engine...? Indy 5 is practical: you're using all the little bits of the ship for hiding stuff in, you'll want to know your ship inside and out... Final thought: any chance of a scan jamming module? Something that can be fitted to a lot slot to obstruct custom's scans? ECM skills then add to your chances... My two cents, anyway *edit: oops, may have missed the thread's point here...still, leaving it up, because I still think this should be considered versus some of the "required" skills ppl are quoting...* |
